Work Day at Greenwood

 It was a fine Saturday for a work day at Greenwood.  We had one more pine tree to move and several old bushes to be pulled out with the big  ol diesel truck.   Unfortunately Grandma had three kids and her father to keep out of the way - so we did not get pictures of the bush pullin!

Someone with weight must lean against the tree....but only one charge on the battery operated sawzall did the trick

 We loaded this all up in the truck with the bushes to take advantage of the Park Township free dumping day.   Everyone else had the same idea - we stood in line (about a 1/2 mile long) and after only moving 4 truck lengths in 15 minutes we turned around and came home.

 As you can see the day warmed up nicely - so much so that when Judah and Daddy took a nap - Grandma took the boys to the beach - how someone got their pants wet in the lake is a mystery - but he had to work in his underwear the rest of the day...with boots

Noah's last day as a 7 year old - he helped trim some trees too

 With some Birthday money in his pocket from Bett and Loren - Noah found a sweet vintage Schwinn bike with original tires and chrome fenders in someone's front yard

 To top it off we found we had some brownie sundae's that needed to be eaten

Ahh this was a good day!

WE Moved!

 We Sold our home on Herman Street in 24 hours - one week after close we found ourselves moving to Greenwood.  I have not actually had time to take full front pictures of the house so this will have to do...what a busy week.

 These three ladies from church are fast moving hurricane force cleaners...and they do windows!

Much Thanks for all their hard work - in a house that had not been cleaned in years!

 Paneling?.....Paint IT!

 No Way is the office going to remain Pink!   Ceiling first - Thanks to Rich and Barb It is now a beautiful room!

Like I said - Paint the Paneling

 This bid ol Pine was too close to the house - and since the tree guys were working next door - Nancy invited them over...with their chainsaws!  They took out 8 trees (all pines) and ground out about 14 stumps.   Some of the  Stumps were from former beach trees that with the root spread were almost 4 feet across.

 St Francis was the only one weeping over the tree loss...I think he mooned the tree guy!

Another "Big one" Bites the dust

Oh Yeah - this whole event took them about 4 hours...all on the same day we moved in!

We definitly had the street tied up with trucks!

Bouncing Boys

We Took the Broden and Noah to the "Sky Zone" as a birthday treat for Broden

One of the Trampoline courts

Nancy found a nice Park and planned a picnic lunch - Broden is doing a "free climb" with only Grandpa as a crash pad...and as you can see he is almost to the sky!

Yeah lets eat!

And then there is ICE Cream!
